We Speak Playground

Playgrounds are a place of joy and exploration for children, but ensuring their safety is paramount.

If you're asking if you need artificial turf, the easy answer is yes. However, the question you should be asking is what type of artificial turf do you need?

Children deserve to play in a beautiful, safe environment that is free from excess dirt and debris. Artificial turf creates a soft and hygienic foundation for play areas.

Ground coverings play an important role at playgrounds. The ground coverings help to provide cushioning on the asphalt or concrete surface that playground equipment sits on. This helps to cushion and protect children's joints as they jump to the ground from playground equipment and helps to provide a bit of cushioning should they fall from the equipment.

There are many different options that are available for playground ground coverings, including mulch, sand, grass, rubber and artificial turf. If you are changing the ground covering at a playground, you may have many questions about different ground coverings, including artificial turf. Read on to learn more about artificial turf.

SYNTHETIC TURF

When you imagine a new playground, you probably think of the design options, cool structures, colors, layout and flow of the space. You know, the fun stuff. Chances are, you’re mind doesn’t immediately wander toward what’s on the ground. That's understandable. We get it. 

However, although it may not be as exciting as the structures themselves, the type of surface used is every bit as important and should be carefully considered when designing a new playground. The options should be researched, discussed and worked into the budget and overall design.
